Researches are based on our in-house code D-KRAT based on the
algebraic 0D model of mass, momentum and energy balances extended by additional
evolution equations for the following physico-chemical phenomena:
|
-
Thermal deformations
-
Cyclic plasticity and reattaching
-
High temperature creep
-
Stress/thermal induced phase transitions
-
Hydrogen, oxygen and carbon generated chemical reaction/diffusion
-
High temperature stress corrosion
-
Low cyclic corrosion
-
Electrochemical corrosion
-
Hydrogen ductility
-
Environmental interaction with surrounding fluid via electrochemical potential and pH
-
Low cyclic fatigue
-
Low cyclic damage evolution as a synenergic effect of chemical reaction products, mechanical and thermal
loading during a real exploitation cycle.
|
|
D-KRAT code is especially
dedicated for on line numerical simulation of the referential state of
structures in real exploitation cycle, which consist four main elements:
-
start-up
-
nominal work
-
shut-down
-
stay
|
Some examples of the computations are presented here
